Hi George and Steve
I just learned of your fathers passing via the grapevine back in Kapuvar. I am sorry for your loss. Hopefully, we can get together one day in the future and reminisce about Thunder Bay in the 60's and of course our parents.

To the Takacs family, my deepest sympathy and condolences for your loss. Gyuri Bacsi was a good man. He was kind and generous. He was always there to help anyone that needed it. I knew him my whole life. Our families have known each other for what seems like forever. He will be missed by family, friends and everyone that knew him.
Love: Steve Horvath and family.
